1890s Leg o' Mutton Sleeve Calico Dress
This dress is something out of a dream. The kind of sleeves we secretly want on every garment in our closet.
The deep eggplant purple ground, for this red and brown resist print, is rare and not a color you see often from this time period. A true treasure and collectors piece.
Watermelon rind green buttons, all original, on the interior muslin bodice.
A hard one to let go of that’s been in our archives for some time, and is in a rare larger size.
